'' It Will Now Self Destruct '' Poem by Bri Mar

There is life out there,
Each other they endear,
When we told them we care,
They agreed they'd appear.

They were peaceful and content,
Us they wanted to meet,
But soon they'd repent,
We'd ensure their defeat.

With peace their conception,
They'd no reason to doubt,
But we make no exception,
Our aim? push them out.

Their technology our dream,
They would show us the way,
Such a power supreme,
Among some held such sway.

To obtain their inventions,
They gave us their trust,
We had evil intentions,
As we can be unjust.

They knew nothing of war,
It was part of their past,
When they asked us, what for?
They were totally aghast.

After learning their ways,
We cast them aside,
We thought, stupid greys,
Our behaviour was snide.

Their creations we used,
To make weapons of woe,
When their power we abused,
They decided to go.

But what they left behind,
We could not understand,
It could not be defined,
By our human hand.

Hieroglyphics they wrote,
Would provide the key,
The codebreakers took note,
But what did they see.

The revelation was explosive,
With our demise it was linked,
Detrimentally corrosive,
It would make us extinct.

When decoding the directions,
They got a surprise,
You can't make corrections,
Now meet your demise.


This device you're observing,
Which you chose to abduct,
Though it's very unnerving,
